Brian O'Neill makes strides in expedited preseason test
EAGAN, Minn. -- A bad string of luck sidelined Rashod Hill for days at a time during training camp. First it was an illness that caused him to lose eight pounds and kept him out most of the first week. During Minnesota's first practice after a preseason win in Denver, Hill stepped on the foot of the guard next to him during 11-on-11 and rolled his ankle.
Every time Hill has gone down, Minnesota Vikings second-round rookie tackle Brian O'Neill has been thrust into the mix with the first-team offensive line. It's unlikely Hill will play against Jacksonville on Saturday after missing three days of practice, meaning O'Neill should fill the void at right tackle once again.
